Pond
Life
Ref no: 131
Price:
£9.99
Description:
The fascination of ponds lie in their mystery, and here are the secrets of
the depths revealed! Whether you're an enthusiastic pond dipper, or just
have a general interest in things aquatic, this book is sure to become a
valuable resource for you.
As you read through you'll see how this underwater world can be just as exciting as a jungle - populated with
carnivores as ferocious as any lion. Grass snakes, resembling monsters, swim
in pursuit of tadpoles. Water boatmen grab passing insects with their
fiendish beaks. Other inhabitants are just downright peculiar, like the
screech beetle (yes it really does screech), and the medicinal leech, which,
be warned, can make its way across land too!
Chapters include:
• What does a pondhunter need
• When to go
• Pond life at least: the plant communities
• Cold blooded vertebrates
• Warm blooded vertebrates
• Bounders, bugs and beetles
• Spiders, mites and crustaceans
• Other animals: softies and hard-cases
• Microbes: the pond's policy makers
• Strangers on the shore
• Drop-ins and fly-by-nights
• Conservation of ponds
There's much more, and it's all highly informative and very easy reading
